Last one. Will post more on Saturday evening.

Charlaine Harris owns the characters and whatnot.

Snoogans!

I froze, and was on the verge of screaming, when all of the sudden, whoever was there kissed me. I recognized that kiss. I missed that kiss. I did nothing but dream about that kiss for the last three months. I instantly started to cry. I reached my hands out and wrapped them around Eric's neck, and he leaned over and got into bed on top of me. I broke away from his lips and just hugged him as close to me as I could. Neither of us spoke at first. We just laid there. He didn't have his full weight on me, but just enough pressure so that I felt secure beneath him.

He sensed my tears and started to kiss my cheeks. I couldn't believe that he was here. I didn't want to turn the light on in case I was dreaming this, and he vanished. I could feel his long hair falling around my face. We stayed like that for at least twenty minutes before I finally spoke.

"Are you really here?" I said finally. I could feel a small grumble of laughter in his chest, and I hugged him closer to me.

"Yes Lover, I'm really here."

"How? I don't understand. You weren't supposed to be here for a few more days."

"I got my chance to speak with Felipe. He made a change to my travel date, and made sure that the hotel finished their renovation of your room in time. He's very fond of you. He was happy to have me come and surprise you."

"I'm not going to survive if you have to leave. I can tell you that right now. I won't be able to take being left here alone again." I said, and started to cry to myself again.

"Lover, don't worry about such things. I just got here. Be happy, please, for me. No sad tears right now." and he started back with the kisses on my cheeks and lips. He stopped for a moment, and I felt his weight shift as if he was going to get out of bed.

"What are you doing?" I asked, and gripped him tighter.

"I want to turn on the light so you can see I'm not a dream." he said and chucked. He was teasing me.

Oh crap! I hadn't done a thing to myself today. I knew I looked horrible, and I didn't want him to see me for the first time in three months looking like this. "No! Don't do that, let me fix myself first."

He laughed again, "Lover, you are always beautiful." And with that, he leaned towards the light again. As his weight shifted off me, I took my opportunity to wiggle out from under him, and take off to the bathroom. I could hear him laughing as I ran.

I came out about ten minutes later feeling a lot better. I took a quick shower, did a quick shave on my legs, brushed out my wet hair, and brushed my teeth. I had been wearing some sweats and a Fangtasia shirt Eric had sent me after I got out here, and decided to come back out in just the shirt. I took a look at the time when I did, and realized that it was close to dawn. Eric was laid out on my bed now, in nothing but his boxer-briefs, and his eyes shot to me as soon as I stepped out of the bathroom. He had lit the fireplace that was in my room, and kept the light off so that the fire was the only light in the room. I got back into bed with him, and curled myself up next to him. I wrapped my arm over his body, and he turned to face me, propping himself up on his elbow as he liked to do. He put his arm over me and his leg, practically enveloping me.

"Do we have time?" I asked as I pressed my body into his, and started to kiss his neck. I found that was a particularly vulnerable spot for Eric, just like my ears were for me. He shifted slightly in bed, and made a bit of a growling noise. His arm pulled me closer to him, and he inhaled my sent.

"Not much. I'm afraid that I might hurt you if we have to rush this Sookie, it's been a while." and as he said that, I could feel on my leg what my kisses on his neck were doing to him.

I stopped kissing his neck and looked up at him, "But I know you won't." I said, and then I went back to kissing. He started to rock against me, and I could tell that me being coy about what I wanted was wasting time, so I gave his neck a little nibble. Eric's body shuddered all over, and before I knew it, he was on top of me, kissing me everywhere, and he was reaching for my panties with his free hand. When he didn't find any he stopped his kisses and looked at me.

"I was just trying to save some time, and a perfectly good pair of underwear." I said, and smiled at him. He let out a laugh from deep in his gut, and I started to tug at his boxer-briefs. He shimmied out of them the rest of the way. I started to take off the shirt I still had on, but he stopped me.

"Leave it on. You look sexy in my shirt." he said, and went back to kissing my neck, working his way up to my ear, and kissing me just below my lobe, and behind my ear. He moved his hand up under my shirt, and started to squeeze my breasts and graze my nipples with his thumbs. I was more than ready at this point, and I let him know it by thrusting my hips in his direction. "Are you ready?" he asked, and I nodded my head, and pulled him back down to me.

He entered me as gently as he could. Eric was a lot to take in, and he knew it, and since it had been a while for us, he was trying to take it slow so that he wouldn't hurt me. I would be lying if I said it wasn't a bit of a shock when he started to move, but it wasn't anything I wasn't used to. I let him know I was alright, and that it was okay to speed things up, by pushing my hips up to meet his faster than he was meeting mine.

He stopped his movement after a moment, and looked down at me. "Lover, are you sure you're alright?"

"I'm more than alright Eric." I said, and I moved a little to signal for him to continue. "Bring it."

His resolve after that changed, and he went from being gentle, to being a little rough, but not hurting. He quickened his pace, and I did what I could to keep up. I could feel myself reaching the end, and I started to dig my nails into his back. This started to send him over the edge.

"Lover." he started, and I could see him starting to falter.

"Now Eric." I said back, and he thrust into me a few final times as hard as he could, and that sent me over the edge, and then himself.

He collapsed on top of me, back in the same position, almost, as when he had first surprised me this evening. Both of us were experiencing aftershocks of the quake that we had just had together. It was blissful. We laid like this for a few minutes before Eric moved off me, and I pulled the blanket up over us. He settled back into his favorite position with me, well hopefully not his favorite, but one of them, propped up on his elbow, arm over my waist, and leg thrown over mine. I curled back up into the little nook this created for me.

Dawn was starting to come, and I could tell because he was fighting to stay awake. He had done this once before when we were at the cabin, and I knew it was a losing battle for him, but it was sweet that he was trying to stay awake for me. I knew it was taking a lot of effort. The drive for him to sleep when the sun rose was undeniable. I made sure to have him relax in a position that I could easily get out of if I needed to get up for any reason, and then I cuddled back against him. As I could see him dozing off, I whispered to him, "I missed you." and I gave him a gentle kiss on the cheek.

"I missed you Lover." and he gave me a quick squeeze, and then he was out. I followed shortly after.

Eeeekkk! I hope ya'll enjoyed that. I couldn't leave until Saturday without getting to this part.

Now I have to spend some of my evening finishing this darn thing, cause ya'll are catching up QUICK!

I hope their first night back together was acceptable. :)

Snoogans and Snoochie Boochies! See ya'll on Saturday!
